Thank you hmily2011 for your monthly ticket. It’s a great honor. I have a lot of things to do during the day and I just finished my work. I’m sorry.
——————————————————————————
Hanzhong City, the meeting hall of the Huangjin Prince Ming's residence.
"Ahem! I said, can you guys concentrate a little bit? Um...Jia Xu, don't sleep anymore. Look at your pet. It's about to be ravaged to death by these people..."
Qin Yang kept coughing while knocking on the table. At this moment, the civil servants and generals of the Yellow Turban Army gathered in the hall, but most of them were almost focused on Xiaodu, who was making "squeaking" noises on the table.
In the past, Xiaodu was so poisonous that no one dared to touch it, but now after refining the Five Poison Pearls, the poisonous energy is restrained. Seeing so many people at first sight, this little guy felt like a fish in water among all the generals.
Jumping around, looking quite familiar.
These generals were also laughing and laughing and were quite curious about this mouse as big as a cat. From time to time, they would grab Xiaodu in their hands, either tugging at Xiaodu's beard or rubbing his little head. On the contrary, they would hold the yellow scarf in their hands.
His Highness Prince Ming stood aside. Jia Xu fell into a deep sleep, drooling all over the table, and had no idea what was going on.
Qin Yang helplessly looked at this and that, Xi Zhicai kept pouring wine into his stomach like a sewer. Guo Jia pestered Ma Yuan Yizheng to discuss how much money the Hanzhong Arsenal made this year and whether there were any dividends.
Something like that. Zhang Baiqi was the most serious person. He actually took all the official documents from Hanzhong and started to review them. Qin Yang sighed helplessly, who are these people...
"Please be quiet! Concentrate!" Huangjin Mingwang finally couldn't help but burst out with an unparalleled bastard spirit, and the entire hall suddenly became quiet.
"Zhizhi..."
"Shut up, too! Scream, if you squeak again I'll stew you and make you soup!" Qin Yang pointed at Xiaodu and yelled angrily.
"Well, this little guy should have some taste when drinking...a good idea..." Xi Zhicai muttered with drunken eyes.
"Haha, wouldn't that save another sum of money for lunch? Ma Junshang, do the math, how much more can we get?" Guo Jia said with a sly look.
"Ah?... Is the meal ready? Xiaodu, get ready to eat..." At this moment, Jia Xu, who was sleeping, suddenly got up, wiping his saliva and looking around blankly.
"Eat?!" A cold light flashed in Qin Yang's eyes and he flew out the sword beside him. Under Qin Yang's control, the sword instantly pierced Xi Zhicai's wine gourd like a shooting star and stuck to Guo Jia.
The tip of his nose passed across it, and finally with a "ding" sound it was nailed to the table where Jia Xu had just slept.
"Drunkard! Lazy man! Profiteer! When will you guys act like they're serious? Don't you know the current situation?" Qin Yang shouted with an expression of hatred for steel.
"The situation? Isn't it just two idiots proclaiming themselves emperor? What's there to worry about?" Xi Zhicai looked at the wine gourd in his hand with regret and said with disdain.
"Yes, Your Highness. Isn't this exactly what you expected?" Jia Xu found that Qin Yang seemed to be really angry, so he couldn't help but grab Xiaodu and press it into his arms.
Qin Yang snorted coldly: "That's what I expected, but the problem now is that we are bordering the territories of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and it is absolutely impossible for our troops to deal with these two guys at the same time. What should we do next?
?”
Guo Jia chuckled and said: "Your Highness, please don't be impatient. I guess the letter from our allies is already on the way. It won't be too late to evaluate the strength of both of us and make a decision..."
"Allies? What allies?" Qin Yang asked in surprise.
"Report——! Report back to Your Highness, the edict from the Emperor of Han Dynasty has arrived!" Before Qin Yang finished speaking, the messenger quickly ran to the door of the hall and bowed to report.
"Look, here we come..." Guo Jia chuckled.
"Let him in!" Qin Yang glanced at Guo Jia suspiciously and said casually.
A moment later, an imposing man walked into the hall holding a yellow scroll high in his hand.
"Liu Ye? Are you here again?" Qin Yang looked at Liu Ye holding the imperial edict high and said in surprise.
Liu Ye had a solemn face and said loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty personally issued an order, and the Marquis of Hanzhong Qin Yang accepted the order!"
Qin Yang snorted, but at this moment he had to leave the situation. He came to Liu Ye and saluted and said: "Qin Yang accepts the order."
"By God's blessing, I was shocked to learn that the Yuan brothers were causing chaos and disobeying orders in the country and committing shameless crimes. Our Han Empire has been in existence for more than 400 years, and it has reached a moment of life and death. My heart is very painful. I can't sleep at night. So I passed on
In the proclamation, Prime Minister Cao Cao was appointed as the general of the rebellion. Holding the sword of the Emperor, he commanded the princes of the world to defeat the rebels and restore our great Han Dynasty..."
"Oh, I, Qin Yang, accept the edict..." After patiently listening to the lengthy edict, Qin Yang stood up slowly, took the edict and put it on the desk.
"Master Qin, is there anything unclear? I wonder when we can send troops?" After Liu Ye read out the imperial edict, the momentum in front of Qin Yang suddenly decreased a lot.
Qin Yang smiled slightly and was about to speak, when suddenly the voice of report came from outside the door again: "Report——! Report to Your Highness, Xuzhou Mu General Lu Bu's envoy asked to see you!"
Qin Yang's heart moved, and he immediately smiled at Liu Ye and said, "Mr. Liu, please go down to the hall and rest for a while. I will come back to discuss with you after I have received the envoy."
Liu Ye couldn't help but change his expression when he saw that Qin Yang had no intention of keeping him in the audience. Although he didn't want to, he had no choice but to go down and wait as ordered.
A moment later, a military general in military uniform strode into the hall with his eyes lowered. He bowed to Qin Yang and said, "The envoy of Xuzhou, Gao Shun, has met His Highness the Yellow Turban King Ming."
"Gao Shun!" Qin Yang's eyes lit up when he saw Gao Shun walking into the hall. At this moment, he stood up and said with a smile: "It turns out that General Gao has arrived. Please take a seat."
Gao Shun bowed again and said: "His Royal Highness King Ming Gao Yi, Gao Shun does not dare to sit down in front of His Highness, please take a look first..."
With that said, Gao Shun respectfully took out the letter in his arms and presented it to Qin Yang. Then he raised his eyelids slightly and caught a glimpse of Xi Zhicai sitting beside him, and couldn't help but nod and smile.
"His Royal Highness King Ming has just met. Now that the two Yuans have proclaimed themselves emperors, the world is in chaos. The alliance of the princes has become a foregone conclusion. Chen Gong respectfully invites His Highness King Ming to temporarily put aside the past grudges and move forward and retreat together. In addition, Cao Cao, the national thief, wants to steal the position of leader of the world alliance, so I hope you can
His Highness Prince Ming will respond as appropriate. Yours sincerely, Chen Gong of Xuzhou."
Chen Gong's words were very simple. Qin Yang smiled slightly after reading it and said to Gao Shun: "General Gao, does Chen Gong mean what your lord Lu Bu means?"
Gao Shun said: "Reporting to Your Highness, Military Advisor Chen Gong is strategizing. On foreign affairs, my lord listens to the advice of the Military Advisor."
Qin Yang nodded and said: "In that case, I, Qin Yang, understand. I also ask General Gao to rest first and wash away the dust. I will reply to Military Advisor Chen Gong."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Gao Shun didn't say much and exited the hall directly.
"Lü Bu and Cao Cao have sent people here. I guess the envoys from other princes will arrive soon..." Jia Xu said calmly.
Qin Yang nodded and said: "It seems that all these princes are very anxious..."
Xi Zhicai sneered and said: "Cao Cao wanted to be the leader of the alliance in the name of the Emperor, but the princes all sent envoys to find His Highness. It seems that Cao Cao may not be able to take the position of leader of the alliance. I am afraid that Zhong Zhong will not be able to take the position next time.
The edicts from Emperor Shi and Emperor Bo will be arriving soon."
Qin Yang laughed loudly and said: "Of course! As long as I, Qin Yang, are here, Cao Cao will never be the leader of the alliance. As for the edicts of the other two emperors, come and go. If everyone is free,
I used it as a pastime when I was bored."
The generals in the hall suddenly burst into laughter. Just kidding, the Yellow Turban Army now occupies the land in Guanzhong and has hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if it forms an alliance with the princes, it is still the absolute main force. How can Cao Cao get the position of leader of the alliance?
! And the counselors here naturally know that these two emperors were originally promoted to the throne by Qin Yang. Don't they know what the plans of these two guys are in their minds?
As Qin Yang and others expected, within two days, Liu Biao from Jingzhou, Gongsun Zan from Youzhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui from Xiliang and other envoys from various princes also came to Hanzhong one after another. Ma Tenghan from Xiliang
Naturally, he followed Qin Yang's lead, and Gongsun Zan, who had some friendship with Qin Yang, also came to express his goodwill. Although Jingzhou Liu Biao was vague, he was undoubtedly more optimistic about the stronger Qin Yang side.
Naturally, the envoys of Emperor Bo and Emperor Zhong also arrived. Their edicts were almost exactly the same, and they just wanted to keep Qin Yang out of the matter. They promised that after the Han Dynasty was destroyed, Qin Yang would stay in Guanzhong and split the land and divide the territory. Qin Yang was naturally very "
He politely sent away the two "His Majesty the Emperor's" envoys. Three days later, Qin Yang finally sent someone to notify the envoys from all walks of life to gather in the hall of the Ming Palace to prepare to announce the final decision.
When he came to the hall of the city lord's mansion again, Liu Ye was no longer as arrogant as before. Especially when he saw the grand gathering of envoys from various princes, he felt even more panicked. Although he had already expected Qin Yang's appeal.
He was definitely not under Cao Cao, who had the support of the emperor, but he never expected that so many princes would come to support Qin Yang at once. You know, these princes were nominally loyal to the Han Empire.
"Thank you for your admiration, Qin Yang is a minister of the Han Empire. Facing the rebellion of the Yuan brothers, Qin Yang is also heartbroken. Please rest assured that Qin Yang will definitely use the troops of Hanzhong to do his best to help
The empire is ruthless! This is Mr. Liu Ye who came to deliver the emperor's edict on the orders of Prime Minister Cao. Please also ask Mr. Liu to say a few words for you." Qin Yang pointed at Liu Ye with a smile, and deliberately said "
The words "by the order of Prime Minister Cao" are very important.
Liu Ye's expression changed slightly, but at this moment he could only force himself. So Liu Ye stood up and saluted everyone in the hall: "My lords, we are all ministers of the empire. Now that the emperor is in Xudu, he has been ordered to do so in danger.
Prime Minister Cao has decreed that the Prime Minister should be appointed as the general against rebellion, holding the Emperor's sword, issuing the Emperor's orders, and calling on all heroes to kill the traitors of the country! Presumably, the Prime Minister has also sent envoys to send a message to your lords, inviting the world's Qinwang princes to come to Xudu for an alliance..."
"Humph, why do we need to go to Xudu for the alliance? Doesn't Cao Cao want to be the leader of the alliance?" Before Liu Ye finished speaking, Gao Shun interrupted Liu Ye coldly and said loudly: "My lord is here before I leave.
I have been ordered to do so. My lord has said that the position of leader of the alliance in the world can only be occupied by the virtuous. If anyone wants to steal the position of leader of the alliance and claim it for himself before forming an alliance, then I, Xuzhou, would rather not join the allied army.
